Firstly, sorry Mods, I couldn't see an appropriate place to submit this so I'll chuck it here. I know you're not keen on links that go outside Neo but I do think this would help answer a lot of questions.

This is a guide I've written to assist with getting into the mysterious art of gunning in P3rd. If you've ever wondered how shots work or which ones to use when, this Compendium should help you make informed choices and start kicking ass with them.

Nice work Maze. It's good to see you encouraging more people to abandon their 4OO defence and pick up a ranged weapon.

I was debating doing some Bow vids when I figure out how (I blame getting old for my techfail!). I still haven't upgraded my Jin gun, in 48 kills I gave procured 7 gems and 2 plates.. it seems like I'll never get the Plates to make it. By the way, try Silver Sol with Tigrex Bow (gemmed for AUL and Focus) against HR5 Los with heroics for lols.. pretty broken =p

Good job maze, I will try your 10 mins deviljho run. It would be nice if I can do in less than 15 min.

And Silver Los armour is pretty much the best set in the game for both gunners and blademasters

Maze, check out this amor set that I just made.

full jhen set but replace 2nd piece for acient armor to get rapid fire+1 (need rustshard and lg acient stone).

Here is the skils I got:thunder attk +1, rapid fire+1, load, pellet S up. I add jewel to get bullet limit, and 3 empty slots. If you have better charm(necklace) than me, you can have thunder attk +2. Or stinger skill. Best thunder set with jinouga LBG.

Got 25% increase from rapid fire+1 (from extra bullet). 10% from thunder attk+1. and extra load. This set is the best for thunder. Flinch silver los like crazy. Worth to check it out. I think you are under estimate the rapid fire +1 skill.

I have always been partial to the bowgun and ranged weapons and of my group I am normally the ONLY one going with projectiles and half of the armor. However even being a gunner for so long I never had a complete understanding of the shots and details. So even with all that experience, this guide has helped up my game and I only looked at it for a few moments...
